To  the  Class  of  2001, 


Congratulations  on  your  wonderful  achievements  over  your  years  at 
Spring  Hill.  While  I  am  happy  for  you,  I  am  also  saddened  at  the 
thought  of  my  first  freshmen  class  moving  on.  We  came  to  gather  in 
1997  and  walked  the  walk  through  challenges  we  did  not  foresee 
but  we  also  realized  growth  that  we  had  not  hoped  for  or  imagined. 
I  am  confident  that  you  will  go  forth  from  this  place  to  build  great 
lives  on  the  foundational  experience  of  these  years  on  this  hill.  I  am 
confident  that  you  will  always  be  what  you  say  you  are  and  that  you 
will  be  competent,  compassionate,  committed  leaders  in  the  service 
of  others  wherever  you  may  go.  I  ask  only  that  you  keep  in  touch 
with  those  who  have  given  meaning  to  your  life  during  these  years. 
May  you  come  back  often.  God's  blessings  be  with  you. 


Sincerely,

To  the  Class  of  2001,  God's  peace! 

Spring  Hill  College  closes  her  171^  year  stronger  and  better  than  ever. 
Enrollment  is  at  an  all  time  high.  The  Campus  Master  Plan  has  been  completed. 
Our  current  residence  halls  are  fall,  and  the  campus  is  buzzing  with  activity.  It  is 
indeed  a  good  time  to  be  on  the  Hill! 

And  yet,  just  four  short  years  ago,  things  were  very  different.  Think  back  -  if  you 
can  -  past  the  almost  endless  succession  of  Deans  to  the  Fall  of  1 997.  The 
Outlaw  Center  was  the  newest  building  on  campus,  still  a  bit  too  far  off  the  beaten 
path  for  the  average  Badger.  O'Leary  was  boarded  shut,  lower  enrollment  forcing 
its  empty  beds  to  go  unnoticed.  The  Campus  Center  was  all  but  bare  and  the 
Cloister  was  practically  dead.  In  short,  the  College  was  not  in  good  shape. 

Although  the  reasons  for  this  transformation  are  multiple,  there  is  one  key  factor 
that  stands  out.  Dedicated  men  and  women  -  many  of  whom  were  students  and 
alumni  and  all  of  whom  believed  in  the  vision  of  St.  Ignatius  -  set  their  hearts 
upon  the  mission  of  bringing  new  life  to  the  College.  They  wanted  the  torch  upon 
the  hilltop  to  shine  once  again.  And  because  of  their  hard  work,  the  glow  has 
begun  to  intensify. 

Some  might  say  that  too  much  has  changed  in  too  short  a  time.  Others  might 
wonder  whether  essential  elements  have  been  lost  in  the  transition.  Without 
denying  the  trauma  that  comes  with  change,  I  would  insist  that  what  is  best  and 
most  essential  about  Spring  Hill  has  not  only  been  preserved,  but  also  enhanced. 
And  you  have  been  a  part  of  this  evolution. 

So  as  you  commence  your  life  beyond  the  Hill,  know  that  our  gratitude  and 
prayers  go  with  you.  In  return,  we  ask  that  you  remember  us  and  pray  for  our 
continued  well-being,  for  the  mission  we  are  to  accomplish  depends  upon  the 
sustained  efforts  of  many  and  the  prayers  of  all. 

May  what  you  have  learned  at  Spring  Hill,  both  in  and  out  of  the  classroom,  serve 
you  well  for  the  journey  ahead.  God  bless  you  and  come  back  whenever  you  can. 


Sincerely,

In  Memoriam 

The  editorial  staff  of  the  2001  Torch  proudly  dedicate  this  edition  of 

Spring  Hill  College's  annual  to  these  men  who  through  their  lives  and 

daily  actions  served  as  living  examples  of  Christ.  Mr.  Outlaw  and  Fr. 

Larguier  dedicated  their  lives  for  the  glory  of  God  and  the  benefit  of 

Spring  Hill  College  and  for  that  we  are  eternally  grateful.

Trustee  Emeritus 

September  8,  1926  -  November  5,  2000 

Before  he  became  mayor.  Outlaw  served  as  public  safety  commissioner  from  1965  to  1969,  when 
Mobile  was  governed  by  three  commissioners.  After  the  commission  form  of  government  was  abolished 
in  1985,  Outlaw  ran  for  mayor.  His  campaign  promise  was  to  clean  up  what  he  called  "The  Mess  at  City 

Hall."  During  his  term  as  mayor.  Outlaw  was  praised  for  bringing  respectability  back  to  the  city 
government  and  for  starting  downtown  renewal  efforts.  Since  leaving  the  mayor's  office.  Outlaw  had 
become  a  leading  businessman  in  Mobile.  He  was  an  executive  at  Morrison's  and  was  chairman  of  the 
board  of  Ruby  Tuesday  before  retiring  three  years  ago.  He  was  also  a  former  chairman  of  the  Alabama 
Republican  Party.  Mr.  Outlaw  generously  donated  the  funds  and  endowment  for  the  campus  recreation 
center  and  remained  involved  with  Spring  Hill  College  until  the  time  of  his  death.

Priest  &  Scholar 

January  26,  1910  -  September  20,  2000 


Fr.  Larguier  was  bom  .lanuary  26,  1910  in  New  Orleans,  Louisiana.  He  entered  the  Jesuits  at  the  age  of 
19.  He  attended  St.  Louis  University  starting  in  the  fall  of  1932,  and  obtained  a  Master's  Degree  in 
mathematics  in  1 936.  He  obtained  his  doctorate  in  mathematics  from  the  University  of  Michigan  in 

1947,  and  then  served  as  a  faculty  member  of  Spring  Hill  College  in  Mobile,  Alabama,  until  his 

retirement  froin  fiill-lime  teaching  in  1975.  His  first  publication  was  in  the  Annals  of  Mathematical 

Statistics  m  1935,  and  since  that  time  he  has  published  other  mathematical  research  articles;  several 

books  have  been  published  by  the  Spring  Hill  College  Press.    In  the  late  1970s,  Fr.  Larguier  had  an 

"on-campus"  terminal  connection  to  the  college  computing  facilities.    Fr.  Larguier's  computing 

facilities  have  changed  over  the  years,  and  he  had  been  gaining  experience  with  Unix  and  Linux.   His 

interest  since  retirement  had  largely  been  in  the  area  of  topology,  as  well  as  a  continued  interest  in  the 

history  of  mathematics.  For  over  fifty  years.  Fr.  Larguier  was  a  fixture  at  Spring  Hill  College  for  not  only 

his  teaching  exploits,  but  also  because  of  his  scholarly  pursuits  and  his  mastery  of  typesetting.

The  Vision  Splendid 

Developed  by  Fr.  Joseph  M.  Walsh 
President  19254931 


Father  Joseph  M.  Walsh  served  as  president 
of  Spring  Hill  College  from  1925  to  1931.  During 
that  time,  he  developed  an  elaborate  plan  for  a 
"Greater  Spring  Hill  College,"  which  would  have 
utilized  the  newly  acquired  land  to  the  west.  The 
current  campus,  including  St.  Joseph's  Chapel, 
Quinlan  Hall,  Yenni  Hall,  Administration  Building 
and  the  Quadrangle  were  to  be  turned  over  to  the 
High  School.  An  entirely  new  campus  was  to  be 
built  for  the  college.  Two  versions  of  the  plan  are 
shown  here.  The  plan  to  the  right  features  a  new 
Administration  Building  (A),  Recitation  Halls  (B), 
Science  Halls  (C),  Commercial  Building  (D),  Mu- 
sic Hall  (E),  Library  (F),  Chapel  (H),  Residence 
Halls  (I),  Cafeteria  (P),  Auditorium  and  Gymnasi- 
ums (S),  Laboratories  (T),  and  a  Stadium  (V).  Of 
these  planned  buildings,  only  Mobile  Hall,  the  Li- 
brary, and  the  Old  Shell  Gate  were  constructed  due 
to  the  Great  Depression. 


The  Campiis  Master  Plan 

Developed  by  Robin  Harvey 
Autumn  2000 


Spring  Hill  College  CAMPUS  PLAN  CONCEPT  DIAGRAM 


The  Spring  Hill  College  Campus  Master  Plan  was  accepted  in  concept  by  the  Board  of  Trustees  in  September 
2000.  The  plan  for  the  year  2000  covers  proposed  campus  development  for  the  coming  decade  and  suggests  future 
pevelopment  potentials  beyond  the  current  planning  cycle.  The  plan  consists  of  a  mixture  of  new  construction 
projects  along  with  effective  reuse  of  current  structures.  New  building  proposals  include  a  21st  century  library  (A), 
two  new  student  residence  halls  (B),  and  a  modest  expansion  of  the  campus  center  (G).  Restoration  and  reclamation 
projects  are  planned  for  St.  Joseph's  Chapel  (C),  full  renovation  of  the  Administration  Building  Complex  (D),  renova- 
ion  and  internal  expansion  of  Quinlan  Hall  (E),  reuse  of  the  Byrne  Memorial  Library  (F)  to  draw  the  academic 
departments  closer  to  the  heart  of  campus;  and  the  renovation  of  Murray  Hall  (H).  Additionally,  the  College  Green 
will  replace  the  roads  to  the  north  of  St.  Joseph's  Chapel  (I)  while  the  tennis  and  basketball  courts  west  of  the 
McLean  Plaza  will  be  relocated  so  that  the  area  can  be  opened  for  another  campus  green.  The  final  series  of  changes 
involves  the  removal  of  road  surfaces  through  the  core  of  campus  (N)  to  facilitate  a  pedestrian-oriented  campus.

Happenings  on  The  Hill 


How  can  one  sum- 
marize life  at 
Spring  Hill  Col- 
lege? Revision. 
Over  the  course  of 
our  undergraduate 
careers,  we  grow 
and  change,  try 
new  things  and 
meet  new  people. 
Our  lives  are  in  a 
constant  state  of 
revision.  While  at 
college,  we  revise 
our  relationships 
with  peers,  with 
teachers,  and  with 
parents.  We  revise 
the  way  we  think. 
Another  character- 
istic of  life  at 
Spring  Hill  - 
palpable  on  cam- 
pus- is  speed.  The 
speed  with  which 
we  make  these 
revisions,  the 
quickness  of 
change  at  college, 
and  the  pace  of 
academics  are  at 
times  disorienting. 
How,  then  can 
students  thrive  in 
such  an  environ- 
ment? As 

Gwendolyn  Brooks 
said:  "Conduct 
your  bloomin'  in 
the  noise  and  whip 
of  the  whirlwind."

by  Julie  Adam 

It  was  still  summer  in  the  air 
and  in  my  mind  when  I  drove 
through  the  Avenue  of  the  Oaks 
and  up  to  the  cluster  of  orienta- 
tion and  seminar  leaders  that  lined 
the  street  in  front  of  Walsh  Hall.  I 
could  not  fully  comprehend  the  fact 
that  I  was  in  college.  Orientation 
was  my  first  taste,  smell,  and  view 
of  what  the  next  four  years  at  Spring  Hill  would  be  made.  How  can  one 
express  the  feelings,  the  smells,  and  the  emotions  of  those  first  few 
days?  Even  if  a  complete  description  were  possible,  it  would  be  imprac- 
tical here.  Instead,  I  wiU  attempt  to  summarize.  The  following  a  few  of 
the  emotions  and  activities  that  I  can  remember  vividly.  Each  had  a 
distinct  significance  of  its  own  .  .  .orientation  and  seminar  meetings, 
lectures,  activities-a  night  at  the  Outiaw  Recreation  Center,  movies,  din- 
ners with  weird  and  wonderful  people,  and  most  memorably  the  Escape 
Retreat.  I  still  have  flashbacks,  when  a  gust  of  warm  air  goes  by,  of  the 
way  I  felt  those  first  few  days.  Orientation  was  a  wonderful  experience 
for  me,  one  that  allowed  a  few  of  the  secrets  of  Spring  Hill  to  surface.  It 
was  those  few  secrets  I  learned  through  Orientation  that  captured  me 
and  hopefully  wiU  never  let  me  go.

Formal. 


by  Angela  Bolich 

Although  many  were  skeptical 
about  enjoying  Fall  Formal  in  freezing 
weather,  the  dance  was  actually  a  huge 
success.  Programming  Board  out  did  it- 
self and  raised  the  standards  on  this  brisk 
November  night.  The  low  temperatures 
became  more  bearable  as  over  400  stu- 
dents huddled  together  in  an  outside  tent 
and  danced  the  night  away.  The  setting 
was  the  picturesque  Bragg  Mitchell  Man- 
sion and  for  any  thin-blooded  person  that 
needed  to  thaw,  the  house  provided  addi- 
tional warmth.  The  tick-blooded  party  ani- 
mals however  were  found  outside  with  the  food  (catered  by 
Gus')  and  the  live  band,  The  Groove  Addiction.  Programming 
Board  out  did  it-self  and  raised  the  standards  on  this  brisk  No- 
vember night.  A  continual  flow  of  coat-covered  students  pro- 
vided Fall  Formal  with  a  diverse  crowd,  including  the  men's 
basketball  team  who  made  it  to  the  dance  a  littie  after  the  oth- 
ers because  of  a  game  that  same  night.  Despite  some  early  agi- 
tation with  the  busing,  everyone  was  able  to  relax  and  let  loose 
on  the  dance  floor.  Couples  held  each  other  during  the  slow 
songs  and  friends  danced  wildly  and  sang  along  with  the  well- 
known  songs.  It  seemed  like  everyone  took  the  time  to  strike  a 
pose  for  the  cameraman  who  at  times  stealthily  captured  the 
enjoyment  of  the  night  through  his  lenses.  Overall  Spring  HiU 
College  SGA  did  a  fantastic  job  organizing  Fall  Formal.  The 
smiles  of  enjoyment  and  the  aura  of  excitement  showed  the

^ofthe  Holy  Spirit 

by  Maureen  Bergan 

In  the  tradition  of  Jesuit  educa- 
tion, the  college  community  gathers  to 
prayerfully  call  upon  the  aid  of  the  Holy 
Spirit,  as  a  new  academic  year  begins. 
Held  in  the  Arthur  Oudaw  Recreation 
Center,  this  Mass  draws  over  500  stu- 
dents, faculty,  and  staff  This  liturgy  is 
presided  over  by  the  President  of  the 
College,  Fr.  Gregory  F.  Lucey,  S.J.  The 
Jesuit  community  on  campus  celebrates 

this  activity,  and  many  others  participate  as  readers  and  Eucharistic  ministers.  A 
choir  consisting  of  the  students,  faculty,  and  staff,  as  well  as  a  brass  ensemble,  join 
together  to  make  the  Liturgy  vibrant  and  energetic.  Calling  to  mind  spirit  and  Ufe, 
red  banners  stream  from  ceiling  and  green  plants  grace  the  stage  and  the  altar  for 
this  festive  and  prayerful  celebration. 

With  a  different  theme  each  year,  the  Mass  gives  a  focus  to  the  communit)- 
for  the  coming  school  year.  This  year's  theme  was:  "Doing  Justice:  Renewing  our 
Commitment  to  the  Mission."  During  the  liturgy,  we  celebrated  the  different  kinds 
of  gifts  many  people  have  brought  to  the  Ufe  of  Spring  HiU  for  over  170  years.  We 
recognized  the  commitment  to  justice  in  the  lives  of  many  unsung  heroes  of  Spring 
HiU,  past  and  present,  during  a  "Litany  of  Remembrance."  As  the  Uturgy  con- 
cluded, students  rose  to  ask  God's  blessing  upon  facult)^  and  staff  —  their  teachers, 
counselors,  and  mentors.  In  response,  facult}^  and  staff  rose  and  prayed  for  the 
students,  that  the  Holy  Spirit  would,  "...  enUghten  their  minds  and  impress  upon 
their  hearts  the  need  that  the  world  has  for  their  Uves."  Fr.  Lucey  concluded  the 
Uturgy  with  a  blessing  and  sending  forth  calling  aU  to  "go  in  peace  to  wimess  God's 
presence  in  our  midst  this  day  and  aU  the  days  ahead  in  this  academic  year."  A 
compUmentary  luncheon  for  the  entire  community  foUowed  in  the  Commons  of 
the  Campus  Center.

by  Katie  Vondenstein 

Grease  was  the  word  this  year  as  Spring 
Hill  College  students  and  their  fainilies 
celebrated  the  first  Family  Weekend  Oct. 
27-29.  More  than  400  students,  parents, 
and  family  members  attended  the  event, 
formerly  known  as  Parents  Weekend,  to 
enjoy  activities  for  all  ages  centered 
around  a  '50s  theme.  The  most  notable 
changes  to  the  Weekend,  other  than  the 
name  change,  were  the  attention  given  to 
including  the  entire  family — not  just  stu- 
dents and  their  parents. 
"We  wanted  to  make  sure  that  all  family  members  of  a  Spring  HiU  College 
student  would  be  able  to  enjoy  the  weekend  just  as  much  as  the  parents  by  having  a 
constant  stream  of  activities  to  keep  them  occupied"  said  Kristen  Kammer,  assistant 
director  of  Alumni  and  Parents  Programs. 

The  first  family-oriented  activity  of  the  weekend  was  the  President's  recep- 
tion. This  reception  gave  family  members  the  opportunity  to  meet  with  Spring  HiU 
faculty  and  Staff  as  well  as  get  to  know  one  another.  Following  the  reception,  families 
were  invited  to  watch  Greases  "drive-in"  style.  Families  sat  in  chairs  and  on  blankets 
and  munched  on  "movie  popcorn"  as  children  danced  to  the  movie's  popular  tunes. 
On  Saturday,  Family  Weekend  introduced  the  "Purple  Pumpkin  Patch"  on  South 
Lawn  for  all  children  to  relish.  Designed  for  youngsters,  the  Purple  Pumpkin  Patch 
included  face  painting,  pumpkin  painting,  a  cake  walk,  and  playing  both  Frisbee  and 
football.  At  the  same  time,  families  enjoyed  the  taste  of  Dew  Drop  hotdogs  while 
watching  a  purple  and  white  baseball  scrimmage. 

Later  in  the  evening  students  and  their  families  kicked  up  their  heels  in  tiie 
Louise  Moorer  Commons  to  music  performed  by  the  "Grand  Band.  Following  the 
Weekend,  Kammer  and  Gail  White,  director  of  Alumni  and  Parents  Programs,  la- 
beled the  redesigned  weekend  a  success.  "Students  love  it.  Parents  love  it.  And  their 
children  felt  welcome,"  Kammer  said.  "We  are  already  looking  forward  to  next  year's 
Family  Weekend."

by  Eric  Jukes 

In  my  4  years  here  at  Spring 
Hill  College,  I  could  be  considered 
an  intramural  sports  fanatic.  I  have 
played  just  about  every  intramural 
sport  from  2  on  2  golf  to  walleyball 
to  beach  volleyball.  The  intramural 
program  at  SHC  affords  those  who 
were  athletes  in  high  school  and 
chose  not  to  pursue  athletics  here, 
and  those  who  simply  want  some 
type  of  activity  an  outlet  for  competition. 

As  the  sun  sets,  they  begin  to  arrive.  One  here,  two  there,  they 
slowly  start  rolling  in.  You  can  feel  your  adrenalin  rising.  Suddenly,  some- 
one calls  your  name  to  go  long  and  you  take  off  in  a  sprint.  There  is 
nothing  like  a  little  competition  in  intramural  sports  at  Spring  HUl.  In  the 
fall,  the  level  of  competition  rises  starting  from  beach  voUeybaU  to  flag 
football.  A  racquetball  tournament  takes  place  while  you  are  competing 
in  the  pool  at  water  polo.  Vicious  spikes  are  in  the  WaUy  ball  courts  w^hile 
three-on-three  basketball  is  causing  injuries.  Springtime  brings  us  to  a 
close  with  soccer  tournaments  and  long  ball  softbaU  games.  When  one 
considers  the  late  nights  and  the  occasional  studying,  everyone  needs  a 
chance  to  let  loose  and  enjoy  a  rivalry.  Intramurals  provides  the  chance 
to  relax  and  get  away  from  the  everyday  worries  and  headaches  of 
school. 

As  I  will  be  graduating  in  May  of  2001,  intramurals  wiU  be  one  of 
the  aspects  of  HiU  life  that  I  wiU  miss  the  most.  It  has  been  an  integral 
part  of  my  Hfe  here  at  Spring  HiU,  and  I  would  not  have  never  enjoyed 
my  time  here  as  much  without  it.

by  Nathan  Kozakiewicz 

Each  December,  the  students, 
faculty,  and  staff  of  Spring  Hill  College 
celebrate  Christmas  on  the  Hill.  In  a  sea- 
son devoted  to  generosity  and  a  spirit 
of  giving,  this  is  a  chance  for  the  Spring 
Hill  Community  to  offer  their  blessings 
to  those  who  are  less  fortunate.  Every 
residence  hall  and  some  of  the  depart- 
ments on  campus  "adopt"  a  refugee  fam- 
ily that  has  fled  severe  hardship  in  their 
home  country.  In  recent  years  they  have 
come  from  countries  as  diverse  as  Vietnam,  Cuba,  Bosnia,  and  Sudan.  The  goal  of 
the  community  is  to  coUect  items  that  the  families  need,  such  as  clothes,  tables  and 
cooking  utensils,  and  to  raise  money  to  buy  them  the  materials  that  are  not  do- 
nated. Volunteers  worked  hard  to  encourage  people  to  donate  and  participation  is 
generally  high. 

The  event  culminates  in  a  dinner,  choir  performance,  and  social  held  the  last 
Friday  before  exams  begin  during  the  fall  semester.  At  dinner,  the  Spring  Hill  com- 
munity gets  a  chance  to  meet  the  refugee  families  for  whom  they  have  been  collect- 
ing donations  for.  Food  is  served  in  the  cafeteria,  and  Santa  Claus  is  on  hand  to  give 
out  candy  canes  and  take  pictures.  After  dinner,  the  event  moves  to  St.  Joseph's 
chapel  for  a  special  Christmas  presentation  by  the  choir,  followed  by  a  social  in  the 
Badger's  Den.  Cookies  are  served,  and  the  children  enjoy  the  chance  to  break  some 
pinatas. 

Christmas  on  the  HiU  is  a  blessing  to  all  those  involved.  It  is  a  great  way  to 
start  off  the  holiday  season  for  both  the  Spring  Hill  community  and  the  families. 
The  spirit  of  the  season  is  weU-represented  in  this  yearly  celebration.

This  year  the  Class  of 
2001  will  step  across  the 
ftireshold  of  a  new  [ 

millennium,  leaving  the   \ 
protective  arms  of  the      ; 
college  that  has  nurtured  [ 
their  mind  and  spirit.        i 
They  are  the  lasting 
legacy  of  the  Baby  Boom  ! 
generation,  from  whom 
they  have  gained  many 
things  -  a  social  con- 
science, a  slightly  rebel- 
lious spirit,  and  a  high 
tolerance  for  the  fast, 
dizzying  change  that  is 
life  in  the  modern  world 
The  turning  of  the  mil- 
lennia is  not  what  science 
fiction  writers  expected  - 1 
though  still  terrestrial,     | 
life  is  much  more  com- 
plex. The  Class  of  2001 
inherits  an  America  still  I 
shaking  from  aftershocks 
of  the  feminist  move- 
ment, the  sexual  revolu-  > 
tion,  the  Great  Society, 
the  Cold  War,  and  the 
Civil  Rights  Movement. 
Just  as  their  parents  were 
unafraid  of  rethinking 
the  world,  they  are 
unafraid  of  seizing  the      \ 
opportunities  such  i 

change  brings.  Com- 
merce, convention,  and 
technology  are  recast 
daily,  and  the  velocity  of 
information  and  the

to  multiply  their  possi- 
bilities. —^— — - — - — —

jeniors  Raise  SGA 
to  New  Heisrhts 


By  Theresa  Bertucci 

The  senior  class  of  2001  was  an 
active  force  within  the  Student  Govern- 
ment Association  (SGA)  of  the  2000-2001 
academic  year.  Vice  President  Maureen 
McCarthy  paved  the  way  for  a  more  effec- 
tive SGA  by  holding  various  workshops 
to  increase  awareness  of  Robert's  Rules  of 
Order  and  she  revitalized  the  Elections 
Committee  to  enact  stricter  regulations  on 
ballot  procedure.  Attorney  General  Jean- 
Paul  Morrell  revived  the  Student  Judicial 
Board,  derelict  for  over  four  years,  to  in- 
crease student  pardcipadon  in  the  disci- 
plinary process.  Matthew  Previts  was 
named  the  first  Vice  President  of  Tech- 
nology and  created  the  first  SGA  website. 
The  senior  class  SGA  members;  President 
Theresa  Bertucci  and  Senators  Tara 
Counts,  Krista  Kant  and  Jamey  Renda,  pre- 
sented the  school  with  a  wonderful  gazebo 
as  the  senior  class  gift.  Overall,  seniors  re- 
vitalized the  positions  they  held  and  took 
Student  Government  to  the  'next  level,' 
helping  SGA  to  evolve  into  a  more  viable 
entity  at  Spring  Hill  College.  Their  contri- 
butions will  be  felt  for  years  to  come.

Life  After  The  Hill 

by  Hilary  Frobish 

After  May  6*,  seniors  have  a  few 
choices.    First,  the  traditional  route; 
mooch  off  of  mom  and  dad.  That  does 
not  last  long,  however.   Prett}'  soon  they 
start  hinting  that  you  should  help  out 
with  the  bills.   When  the  hints  don't  help 
then  they  change  the  locks.   Now  what? 
There  is  the  ever  popular  job  hunt  if  you 
did  not  do  that  during  the  college  years. 
Usually  begun  during  late  fall  semester 
senior  year,  job  hunts  take  many  forms. 
There  is  Career  Services  which  exists  is 
to  help  you  find  a  job.    Resume  writing, 
etiquette  luncheons  and  locating  helpful 
alumni  is  what  the  Career  Services 
coordinator  does  best.    If  you  feel  like 
trying  it  yourself,  you  may  search  for 
jobs  on  the  Internet.   In  place  of  the 
Internet,  there  are  the  Help  Wanted 
pages  in  the  newspaper  or  "word  of 
mouth."   If  getting  a  job  is  not 
appealling,  then  graduate  school  is  an 
expensive  alternative.    The  GRE  may  be 
taken  early  and  frequentiy  to  ensure  a 
score  that  is  high  enough  to  aUow 
entrance  in  the  school  of  your  choice. 
There  is  the  LSAT  for  those  wishing  to 
pursue  law,  the  GMAT  for  the  business- 
oriented  and  the  MCAT  for  aspiring 
doctors.    After  the  tests,  there  are 
recommendation  letters,  as  well  as 
essays,  transcripts,  and  applications  for 
financial  aid.    Some  graduates  will  begin 


Abo\  e:  Mr.  Luttman,  Coordinator  of  Career  SerMces.  w  orks 
with  members  of  the  senior  class  to  explore  graduate  school 
and  employment  options  after  graduation.

To  Commute  or 
Not  to  Commute 

by  Jean-Paul  Morrell 

Spring  Hill  is  a  communily,  a 
little  town,  onto  itself.  It  is  understand- 
able that  SHC  encourage,  if  not  down- 
right requires,  that  most  students  live  on 
campus  during  the  course  of  their  SHC 
experience.  What  are  the  benefits  of  an 
off-campus  apartment  or  house?  First  of 
all,  you  are  not  constrained  by  the 
multitude  of  rules  that  regulate  housing 
on  campus.  Second,  you  can  experience 
what  it  wUl  be  like  in  the  post  collegiate 
years  when  you  are  living  away  from 
home,  looking  for  a  job.  Lasdy,  you  can 
escape  the  hustle  and  busde  of  SHC  life 
whenever  you  feel  overwhelmed.  These 
reasons  are  good  ones  to  move  off- 
campus,  but  there  are  equally  compel- 
ling reasons  to  stay.  While  living  on- 
campus  you  can  save  gas,  and  wake  up 
later  in  the  morning,  because  your 
classes  are  just  short  walk  from  your 
dorm.  On-Campus  it  is  also  easier  to 
stay  abreast  of  occurrences  at  school,  as 
they  will  be  happening  all  about  around 
the  clock.  Finally,  the  problems  sur- 
rounding housing,  utilities  and  food,  are 
taken  care  of  by  the  school  leaving  less 
for  a  student  to  worry  about.  There  are 
equally  compelling  arguments  for  either 
side  and  only  each  individual  can  deem 
what  will  produce  the  most  utilit)'  in 
their  particular  situation.

The  (nimma  L'psi-

Ivappa  Tau  was  es- 
tablished in  1967. 
Despite  a  recent  ef- 
fort to  revive  the 
group,  risk  manage- 
ment concerns 
forced  the  closing 
of  this  chapter  in 
the  FaU  of  2000. 


The  Upsilon  Alpha 
Chapter  of  Tau 
Kappa  Epsilon  was 
established  in  the 
spring  of  1998.  The 
group  has  grown 
from  13  active 
members  to  47 
while  maintaining 
the  highest  GPA 
among  Sping  Hill 
fraternities. 


The  Delta  Delta 
Chapter  of  Lambda 
Chi  Alpha  was  es- 
tabUshedml989.  A 
consistent  decrease 
in  chapter  member- 
ship forced  the 
group  to  suspend 
operations  in  the 
Spring  of  2001. 


After  several  at- 
tempts to  attract  a 
third  sororit)'.  Delta 
Gamma  arrived  in 
the  winter  of  200(1 
and  established  die 
Eta  Eta  Colony. 
The  group  consists 
of  nearly  50  mem- 
bers and  should 
charter  within  a 
\ears  time. 


Right:  The  Cloister  was  renovated  in  the 

Fall  of  2000.   Improvements  included  new 

tables  and  chairs,  removal  of  the  wall 

separating  the  counter  from  the  seating 

area,  and  addition  of  new  menu  items. 

Far  Right:  The  Dean's  Office  was  moved 

from  the  second  floor  of  the  Student  Center 

to  the  space  where  the  SGA  office  was 

previously  located.

Dr.  Robert  and  Brenda  Morgan  of  Dallas,  Texas  donated  and 
mdowed  the  new  Badger  Van.  The  Morgans,  whose  daughter 
\shley  is  a  SHC  junior,  chair  the  Parents  Board.  The  new  van 
lelped  revitalize  a  struggling  Badger  Van  program. 


In  August  of  1997,  over  300  of  us  stepped  onto  campus  as  freshman. 


Then  and  Now 


Four  years  later,  289  of  us  are  preparing  to  leave  as  graduates. 


How  has  Spring  Hill 

changed  since 

freshman  year? 


'  I  la  niks  md 
regulations  have 
been  changed  to 
create  a  more  re- 
laxed atmosphere, 
slowing  down 
the  maturation 
process." 

Lamar  Hiiiton 


During  my  time 
at  SHC,  there  has 
been  an  increase  in 
security.  I  don't 
think  this  is  good 
for  a  campus 
known  to  be  laid 
back.  I  feel  like  a 
criminal  entering 
lock-down  when- 
ever 1  enter  or 
leave  the  campus." 

Pal  Oates 


"I've  noticed  Per- 
sonnel changes  the 
most.  A  lot  of  fac- 
ulty from  freshman 
yaer,  like  Dr. 
Guneratne  and  Fa- 
ther Payne,  are 
gone  and  new 
faces,  like  Dr  Wil- 
son and  Dr.  Craven 
are  here.  At  least 
I've  met  new 
people  every  year 
here." 


James  J.  Rcnda 


"Over  the  past  four 
years  I've  seen 
three  deans,  boys 
in  Toolen  and  girls 
in  Mobile  Hall. 
Despite  all  of  these 
developments  1 
can  still  walk  into 
the  cafeteria  and 
sit  with  friends  or 
recognize  familiar 
faces  in  Quinlan 
on  the  way  to 
class." 

Megan  McPadden 


Many  things  have  changed  at  SHC 
withjn  the  four  years  we  have  been 
here.  Sometimes  -we  need  to  sit  back  a 
second  and  look  at  aU  that  has  oc- 
curred at  SHC  -while  -we  were  in 
attendance.  We  have  seen  three 
administrators,  Dean  Balog,  Dean 
Roth  and  Fr.  Sauer,  in  almost  as  many 
years.  We  have  seen  the  formation  of 
new  clubs,  such  as  the  Loft  and 
Lacrosse,  and  the  revival  of  long  dead 
ones.  Sailing  Club,  Young  Republicans 
and  the  Modey.  We  have  seen  the 
passing  of  two  prominent  Fraternities, 
Phi  Kappa  Tau  and  Lambda  Chi,  and 
the  rise  of  a  new  one,  Tau  Kappa 
Epsilon.  We  have  seen  the  steady 
growth  of  our  two  national  sororities, 
Phi  Mu  and  Tri-Delta,  and  the  addi- 
tion of  a  new  one,  Delta  Gamma.  So 
much  has  happened  at  SHC  under  our 
watch  that,  sometimes,  it  is  hard  to 
remember  what  it  was  like  when  we 
got  here.  We  have  changed  Spring  Hill 
in  tremendous  ways  and  left  our  mark 
on  its  facade  for  years  to  come.

Residents  of  the  Hil[ 


A  spirit  of  change 
swept  the  through 
Spring  Hill  College 
this  year  reshap- 
ing the  structure 
of  residence  life. 
One  of  the  largest 
freshman  classes 
in  over  a  decade 
arrived  and  ad- 
justed to  college 
life.  Sophomores 
and  juniors  re- 
turned and  met 
the  challenge  of 
the  shuffled  resi- 
dence hall  assign- 
ments for  in- 
stance, last  year 
O'Leary  was 
revamped  and 
reopened  last  year 
to  female  stu- 
dents, this  year 
O'Leary  opened 
one  of  its  three 
floors  to  male 
students;  the  long- 
time male  only 
Mobile  Hall  be- 
came co-ed,  and 
then  the  long-time 
female  only  Toolen 
Hall  became  a 
male  residence 
hall.  In  this  year 
of  change  on  the 
Hill,  challenges 
were  met,  adjust- 
ments were  made, 
and  a  more  unified 
student  body 
emerged.

of  fun." 
-  Laura  Doering 


by  Paul  Scalici 

This  year  the  Class 
of  2002  was  a  con- 
stant presence  on 
SGA  during  the 
2000-2001  term. 
With  the  more  rep- 
resentation than  any 
other  class,  includ- 
ing President 
Stephen  Fitzgerald, 
the  Junior  Class  was 
active  in  nearly  ev- 
ery aspect  of  Stu- 
dent Government. 
This  fact  was  exem- 
plified through  the 
work  of  junior  class 
sentors  Joe 
Pappalardo,  Paul 
Scalici,  Laura 
Doering,  and  Greg 


Kearns.  Under  the 
direction  of  Presi- 
dent Pappalardo, 
the  juniors  held  a 
class  bowling  night, 
as  the  juniors  took 
the  lanes  of  the  ever 
famous  Florida 
Bowl.  This  event 
held  true  to  the 
form  of  other  Class 
of  2002  events,  as 
the  unexpected 
could  always  be  ex- 
pected. But  a  good 
time  was  had  by  all 
and  the  bowling  al- 
ley was  formnately 
left  in  tact,  minus  a 
bowling  ball. 

Indiviually,  the  jun- 
ior class  senators 


were  constantly 
looking  out  for  the 
interests  of  the  stu- 
dents, as  Joe  and 
Greg  started  and 
maintained  a  food 
committee  that 
sought  out  student 
input  on  the  present 
food  situation. 
Meanwhile  Paul  and 
Laura  were  a  strong 
force  throughout 
the  meetings  mak- 
ing sure  that  the 
voices  of  the  class 
were  heard.  All  in 
all  the  junior  class 
senators  set  an  ex- 
ample for  other 
class  senators  for 
years  to  come.

A  Fortunate  Few  Juniors  Live  in  tfie  Apartments 


by  B.  Gough 

Living  in 
the  apartments  as  a 
junior  is  an  extraor- 
dinary privilege. 
Since  the  apart- 
ments are  offered 
to  seniors  first,  it  is 
somewhat  difficult 
to  secure  a  room. 
Applicants  must 
have  a  certain  grade 
point  average  to 
gain  acceptance. 
Although  it  may  be 
difficult  to  get  in, 
there  are  many  ad- 
vantages to  the 
lifestyle. 

Each  stu- 
dent has  there  own 
room  and  they  are 


brought  together  by 
a  family  room  and 
a  kitchen.  This 
gives  the  students 
privacy  but  also  the 
company  of  other 
classmates.  Stu- 
dents can  escape 
the  Marriot  food 
service  by  cooking 
gourmet  meals  in 
the  kitchen.  Many 
roommates  take 
turns  fixing  meals 
and  baking  desserts. 
Each  apartment  has 
four  residents.  Two 
residents  share  a 
bathroom  and  a 
bathtub  as  an  added 
convenience.  The 
apartment  also  in- 


cludes a  washing 
machine,  a  dryer, 
and  a  balcony.  This 
allows  for  free  laun- 
dry and  the  oppor- 
mnity  to  barbecue. 
"My  experi- 
ence in  the  apart- 
ments has  been  a 
great  one,  and  I 
would  not  trade  it 
for  anything,  espe- 
cially not  for  dorm 
life,"  quotes  Monica 
DeSilva.  Many  jun- 
iors would  agree 
with  her.  Living  in 
the  apartments  has 
many  benefits,  and 
most  juniors  jump 
at  the  opportunity 
to  have  one.

"You  don't  have  to 
worry  about  RA"s, 
drinking,  loud  music,  or 
quarters  for  laundry:  It's 
like  living  at  home,  but 
I  wouldn't  recommend 
living  with  anyone  from 
Vicksburg." 
-  Eric  Reichling 


"I  feel  more  like  we  are 

treated  as  adults  and  not 

like  children.  We  have 

more  responsibilities 

and  feel  like  real 

college  students."

The  2000- 
2001  school  year 
has  been  a  busy  year 
for  the  Sophomore 
Class.  Working  to- 
gether, the  student 
government  en- 
courage class  unity. 
They  make  it 
known  that  our  fel- 
low students  may 
call  on  them  at  any 
time  to  voice  con- 
cerns, ideas,  and 
even  offer  some 
constructive  criti- 
cism. With  their 
opinions  and  ideas, 
they  have  worked 


together  to  resolve 
problems  such  as  se- 
curity issues  and 
commuter  relations. 
This  year  the 
sophomore  class 
took  it  upon  them- 
selves to  promote 
Election  2000  and 
encourage  the  stu- 
dent body  to  vote. 
The  officers  made 
profile  boards, 
which  discussed 
each  of  the  candi- 
dates and  their  plat- 
forms, and  printed 
up  fliers  that  por- 
trayed each 
candidate's  thoughts 


on  certain  issues. 
On  election  night, 
there  was  a  party  in 
the  Cloister  and  the 
news  was  broad- 
casted so  students 
could  watch  the 
election  results  as 
they  came  in.  The 
night  turned  out  to 
be  a  big  success. 

The  sophomore 
officers  have 

worked  very  hard 
throughout  the  en- 
tire year  to  insure 
that  their  class- 
mates had  a  happy 
and  productive 
year.

Females  Invade  Mobile 

Ladies  Take  Up  Residence  in  l\/lobile  Hall 


by  Jenny  Daly 

Spring  Hill  origi- 
nated as  an  all-male 
campus  and  up  un- 
til this  school  year 
Mobile  Hall  kept 
this  tradition  alive. 
But  as  the  female 
population  has 
grown,  Mobile  Hall 
has  the  presence  of 
girls.  Though  the 
guys  have  made  the 
transitions  and  ad- 
justed to  the  fe- 
males, the  rooms 
have  not.  They  are 
still  formatted  for 
tall  guys.  Females 
have  had  a  problem 
with  the  size  of  the 


room  and  closets 
and  with  the  place- 
ment of  the  mirrors 
and  showerhead. 
The  biggest  plus  for 
the  girls  however, 
has  been  the  private 
bathrooms  for  two. 
Girls  have 
sacrificed  many 
comforts  for  conve- 
nience of  the  pri- 
vate bathrooms. 
One  such  comfort 
would  have  to  be 
the  beds.  Sky-high 
beds  have  been  the 
biggest  adjustment. 
It  is  pain  passing  the 
phone  form  one 
roommate  on  the 


floor  to  the  other  in 
her  bed.  Also  you 
can  get  a  workout 
trying  to  change 
your  sheets  without 
hitting  your  head  or 
falling.  Yet,  having 
a  carpeted  room 
and  a  dorm  that  is 
much  closer  is 
more  pleasant 
accomodation. 

Despite  nu- 
merous adjust- 
ments. Mobile  Hall 
has  been  a  great  ex- 
perience and  the 
comforts  have  out- 
weighed the  flaws 
of  a  once  all-male 
dormitory. 


"I  didn't  sleep  in  my 
bed  for  the  first  six 
months  because  I  was 
afraid  that  the  bed 
would  fall  to  the 
ground!  But  now  I 
think  it's  cool  to  sleep 
in  the  lofts" 
-  Penny  Dupre 


"Several  changes  were 
noticeable.  Visitors 
commented  on  the 
'fresher  smell, 'instead  of 
old,  wet  socks,  it 
smelled  like  potpouri- 
scented,  old,  wet  socks." 
-  Clinton  Crow 
Hall  Director 


Left:  One  of  the  biggest  adjustments  for  the  residents  of  Mobile 
Hall  was  the  sharing  of  laundry  facilities  and  other  common  areas 
of  the  dorm.

First  Time  RA's  Reach  Out  to  Help 


"Initially  I  thought 

being  an  RA  would  be  a 

lot  of  work  and  not  a 

lot  of  fun,  but  getting  to 

know  the  residents  was 

an  unexpected  bonus  of 

the  Job." 

-  B..I.  Bertucci 


"Being  a  sophomore 
RA  was  enjoyable  but 
challenging  since  I'm 
still  "young'  in  some 
peoples  eyes.  1  found 
that  working  in  Murra\ 
was  more  fun  that  1 
thought  it  would  be." 
-  Terri  Waywell 


by  Amy  Maydole 

As  a  sopho- 
more, students  have 
the  first  opportunity 
to  become 

resident's  assistants. 
RA's  have  many  du- 
ties to  perform,  and 
the  job  calls  for  very 
talented  individuals. 
All  RA's  must  com- 
plete a  leadership 
workshop  training 
course  designed  to 
help  students  recog- 
nize their  abilities  as 
leaders.  The  work- 
shop trains  students 
to  help  their  peers 
in  any  troublesome 
situation  they  en-

counter.  They  also 
learned  how  to  ini- 
tiate plans  in  group 
projects  and  how  to 
delegate  work.  RA's 
go  through  a  vigor- 
ous training  course 
to  be  able  to  coun- 
sel students  with 
any  problems  they 
might  have. 

The  position 
can  definitely  be 
considered  a  job. 
All  RA's  give  up  one 
night  a  week  to  be 
on  duty.  They  must 
be  available  for  stu- 
dents at  any  time  of 
the  night. 

With  at  least 


one  RA  on  duty, 
there  is  always 
someone  available 
in  the  unlikely 
event  that  some- 
thing should  go 
wrong.  The  job  is 
very  demanding. 
Many  RA's  have 
students  in  their 
rooms  with  prob- 
lems every  night  of 
the  week.  Many 
sacrifice  their 
hours  dedicated  to 
studying  to  help 
out.  Although  the 
job  can  be  very  dif- 
ficult at  times, 
many  would  do  it 
again.

Freshman  Representatives  Fire  Up  SGA 


by  Julie  Adam 

Unity,  trust,  and 
commitment  are 
the  key  aspects  that 
we,  as  the  freshman 
class  representa- 
tives, hope  to  have 
instilled  in  our 
class.  Our  purpose 
is  outlined  very 
clearly  and  is  best 
summed  up  by  the 
word  unity.  With 
that  unity  will  come 
integrity  and  gratifi- 
cation. 

There  are  many 
activities  that  we 
have  held  to  pro- 
mote this  emotional 


growth  within  our 
class.  The  first  ac- 
tivity was  a  barbe- 
cue held  at  the  be- 
ginning of  the  year. 
Around  Christmas 
time  a  karaoke  party 
was  held  to  cel- 
ebrate that  special 
season.  Freshmen 
days  included  a 
powder  puff  foot- 
ball game,  a  fresh- 
man white  out  ac- 
tivity, and  a  dinner 
labeled-  "  A  Night 
to  Remember." 
Much  more  was  ac- 
complished going 
beyond  the  realm 


of  social  events  for 
the  freshman  class. 
Badger  Productions 
was  started  and 
brought  new  mean- 
ing to  words  bas- 
ketball and  baseball 
as  well  as  a  new  en- 
thusiasm to  all 
Spring  Hill  athletic 
teams.  AU  of  these 
things  will  hopefully 
provide  each  stu- 
dent with  a  moment 
worthy  of  remem- 
brance and  give  him 
or  her  pride  in  their 
class-  the  freshmen 
class  of  2004.

"Orientation  was  not 

a  big  deal,  considering 

that  I  am  from  Mobile 

and  I  knew  a  lot  of 

people  and  was 

familiar  with  the 

campus  already."

by  Danielle  Bosarge 

The  thought 
of  being  away  from 
home  and  finally 
somewhat  indepen- 
dent seemed  great, 
but  the  the  first 
night  in  a  small 
dorm  room  with 
someone  who  you 
barely  knew  seemed 
not  so  great  any- 
more. Freshman 
orientation,  though 
we  may  not  realize 
it,  helped  us 
through  this  huge 
transition  in  our 
lives. 

Our  first  small 
group  meeting  and

into  Toolen  Hall. 


our  first  seminar 
meeting  were  both 
a  bit  nerve  wrack- 
ing the  first  day,  but 
everything  worked 
out  alright.  We 
talked,  had  a  great 
time,  and  made  a 
couple  new  friends. 
The  rest  of 
the  day  was  filled 
with  lectures  about 
Spring  Hill  and  the 
many  different  pro- 
grams offered. 
That  night  there 
was  a  drive-in 
movie.  The  best 
part  of  orientation 
was  the  Escape  Re- 
treat. Even  though 


it  rained,  we  ca- 
noed, played  vol- 
leyball, basketball, 
and  football,  and 
ate  lots  of  pizza. 
There  was  also  a 
spiritual  aspect  to 
the  day. 

The  most 
memorable  part  of 
orientation  was 
when  the  class 
walked  down  the 
Avenue  of  the  Oaks 
to  the  library.  We 
were  told  that  our 
procession  was 
symbolic,  as  it  was 
the  reverse  of  what 
will  be  our  gradua- 
tion procession.

Freshmen  Men  Participate  in  Rush 


by  Rob  Schroeder 

One  of  the  great- 
est aspects  of  our 
college  is  the  large 
number  of  extracur- 
ricular activities 
that  are  available  to 
students.  Participa- 
tion in  these  activi- 
ties is  encouraged 
in  order  to  help  stu- 
dents, especially 
new  ones,  to  foster 
school  spirit,  to 
make  friends,  and 
to  have  fun.  One 
activity  that  defi- 
nitely meets  all  of 
the  above  goals  is 
rush. 

.    The  first  part 


of  the  week  in- 
volved going  to 
each  fraternity's 
rush  party  so  that 
one  could  meet  and 
talk  with  active 
members  and 

alumni.  The  local 
fraternities,  such  as 
Kappa  Theta,  Psi 
Gamma,  and  Omi- 
cron  Sigma,  were 
visited  on  the  first 
night.  On  the  sec- 
ond night,  the  inter- 
national fraternities, 
Tau  Kappa  Epsilon, 
Sigma  Chi,  and 
Lambda  Chi  Alpha, 
hosted  their  parties. 
The  second  part  of 


the  week  involved 
going  to  each 
fraternity's  prefer- 
ence party.  Rush 
week  ended  with 
bid  night  on  Satur- 
day, during  which 
each  man  decided 
which  fraternity  he 
would  Hke  to  join 
based  on  the  bids 
that  he  received. 

The  general  con- 
sensus of  rush  was 
that  the  proceed- 
ings were  very  well 
organized,  and  that 
it  definitely  pro- 
vided ample  oppor- 
tunities  to  meet 
new  people.

Feedback 

"Rush  helped  me  with 

grades  first  semester 

because  I  wanted  to  go 

through  it,  and  to  do  so 

I  had  to  be  sure  that  I 

did  well  in  my  classes."

"Going  through  rush 
gave  me  a  chance  to 
meet  a  lot  of  different 
people  and  get 
acquainted  with  a

men."

By  Kiley  Moore 

They  left  their 
homes  in  Florida, 
California,  Massa- 
chusetts, Alaska, 
and  other  states 
-with  one  goal  in 
mind.  They  'were 
incoming  freshmen 
on  their  'way  to  Mo- 
bile, Alabama. 
They  anticipated 
the  beginning  of 
their  ne'w  lives  as 
college  students 
hoping  to  find  a 
family  at  Spring  Hill 
College. 

The  first  days, 
'weeks,  and  months 
passed       quickly. 


They  became  regu- 
lars on  the  campus. 
They  got  involved 
in  the  different  ac- 
tivities available  and 
realized  that  living 
away  from  home 
'was  a  ne'w  chal- 
lenge. Spring  Hill 
was  their  home 
away  from  home. 

For  most,  the 
college  experience 
was  alot  to  take  in 
and  adjust  to.  It  was 
amazing  what  a  per- 
son could  get  used 
to:  Marriot  food,  a 
roommate's  weird 
habits,  sleeping 
through  your  8:20, 


kno'wing  everything 
and  still  failing  a 
test,  doing  laundry

and  will  remain  a 
home.

year  the 
faulty,  too,  was 
ffected  by  the 
far-reaching  spirit 
of  change  on  the 
Hill.  New  faculty 
members  were 
added  to  the 
English,  Theol- 
ogy, Philosophy, 
Chemistry  and 
Physics  depart- 
ments. These 
new  faculty 
members  brought 
new  styles,  enthu- 
siasm and  knowl- 
edge to  the  fac- 
ulty and  enough 
Bachelors,  Mas- 
ters, and  Doctor- 
ates to  fill  the 
Gautrelet  Room. 
Another  change 
facing  Spring  Hill 
academics  was 
the  preparations 
for  next  year's 
new  schedule,  as 
X/Y  schedule  is 
retired  in  lieu  of 
the  traditional 
college  format. 
As  the  changes 
reshape  and 
revitalize  the 
atmosphere  of 
learning  on  the 
Hill,  the  long-held 
standard  of  excel- 
lence remains 
intact.

For  The  Greater 


Jesuits  Exemplify  Society  Motto  in  Daily  Lives 


by  Jonathan  Parsons 

The  sixteen  men  of  the  Society  of  Jesus  at  Spring  Hill 
College,  just  as  the  thousands  of  men  before  them  over  their 
461 -year  history,  adopt  as  their  apostolate  the  education  of 
young  people.  Jesuit-style  education  is  unique  and  famous, 
having  achieved  an  excellent  reputation  throughout  the  world. 
Jesuits  from  the  province  of  Lyons  arrived 
at  Spring  Hill  College  in  1847,  and  in  the 
intervening  154  years  their  successors  have 
been  the  animating  spirit  of  this  college  and 
are  involved  at  all  levels.  They  may  be  found 
working  in  Student  Life,  Plant  Services, 
Campus  Ministry,  and  in  a  number  of  Aca- 
demic Departments.  Their  services  to  the  college  and  its  stu- 
dents are  varied  -  they  are  involved  with  administration,  teach- 
ing, scholarly  writing,  they  provide  counseling  and  spiritual 
direction  for  students,  host  retreats,  and  facilitate  community 
service  projects.  They  do  all  of  these  things  for  the  ultimate 
purpose  of  cultivating  in  students  a  hunger  for  learning,  a 
concern  for  justice,  and  a  mature  faith  in  God.

Commitment  to 

me 

Longtime  Faculty  Man  Continues  to  Serve 


by  Emily  Ferrill 

If  your  parents  attended  Spring  Hill  College, 
there  is  a  chance  they  may  have  run  into  some  of 
your  current  professors.   English  professor  Dr. 
Michael  Kaffer,  Ph.D.,  has  been  teaching  SHC  stu- 
dents for  39  years.   In  almost  four  decades,  he  served 
as  Dean  of  Lifelong  Learning  for  12  years,  faculty 
moderator  of  the  Literary  magazine.  The  Mot/ey,  the 
campus  newspaper.  The  Springhillian^  and  English 
professor,  among  other  positions. 
He  currendy  serves  as  the   Chair 
of  the  Language  and  Literature 
Division.   Kaffer  said  that  while 
he  majored  in  chemistry  in  col- 
lege, it  was  his  love  of  literature 
that  has  driven  him  to  teach  for 
so  long.   In  Kaffer's  39  years  at  Spring  Hill,  he  has 
seen  many  changes  in  classes,  students  and  the  admin- 
istration.  Kaffer  admits  that  the  current  administra- 
tion is  an  improvement  upon  past  administrations. 
Kaffer  teaches  more  classes  now  than  he  did  when  he 
first  started  teaching,  and  has  noticed  that,  in  general, 
students  now  have  a  higher  expectation  of  them- 
selves, but  do  not  necessarily  work  as  hard  as  students 
in  the  past  have.   "Each  generation  is  interesting," 
Kaffer  said.

Spring  Hill  Prepares  for  Schedule  Changes 

by  Joey  Peacher 

In  the  year  of  its  25th  anniversary,  the  X/Y  schedule 
has  been  replaced  with  the  more  common  Monday- Wednes- 
day-Friday/Tuesday-Thursday schedule.  Contrary  to  what- 
ever legends  may  have  circulated,  the  X/Y  schedule  is  fairly 
young  and  was  probably,  according  to  Dr.  Charles  Boyle,  origi- 
nally conceived  by  the  registrar  under  Dean  Whalin's  admin- 
istration in  1975  because  faculty  were  discontent  since  cer- 
tain courses  were  difficult  to  teach.  Dr.  Noreen  Carrocci, 
Academic  Vice  President,  discussed  the  reasons  for  the 
change  of  the  procedure  in  the  administration.  The  sched- 
ule returned  to  its  original  form  this 
year  when,  once  again,  faculty  became 
discontent  with  the  X/Y  Also,  new 
faculty  and  student  confusion  with  X/ 
Y  prompted  the  Academic  Standards 
Committee,  headed  by  Fr.  Michael  Wil- 
liams, S.J.,  to  investigate  the  advantages 
and  disadvantages  of  the  schedule.  Some  of  the  most  con- 
vincing arguments  against  X/Y  were:  difficulty  of  hiring  ad- 
junct faculty,  problems  for  students  with  work-study  jobs  or 
internships,  and  scheduling  difficulties  for  commuters  with 
off-campus  jobs. 

After  numerous  student  and  faculty  forums,  the  com- 
mittee voted  to  discuss  the  change  at  the  Faculty  Assembly, 
but  without  a  recommendation.  Even  without  a  recommen- 
dation and  with  the  split  in  the  committee,  the  Faculty  As- 
sembly voted  28-9  to  make  the  change.  "Change  is  hard  and 
the  faculty  handled  an  enormous  workload  to  change  it  so 
quickly,  but  it  will  provide  more  flexibility  for  the  students. 
Some  said  X/Y  made  Spring  Hill  different,  but  I  would  rather 
Spring  PUll  be  known  through  the  recognition  of  our  gradu- 
ates in  the  community  than  for  being  different,"  said  Dr. 
Carrocci.

well.  However,  as  we 
become  more  involved  with 
Metro  grant  students  and

ties, it  has  become  in- 
creasingly difficult  to  match 
our  schedule  with  the  day- 
of-the-week  orientation  of 
the  rest  of  the  world.  The 
switch  to  MWF-TTh 
classes  will  alleviate  some 
of  these  conflicts,  plus  it 
will  also  make  scheduling 
adjunct  instructors  easier."

Greek  Coiiecil  and  IFC 


Greek  Societies  Work  Together 

by  Rick  Thome 

Spring  Hill  campus  Ufe  for  many  years  has  thrived 
from  Greek  involvement.  Greek  life  at  Spring  Hill  has 
fluctuated  over  the  years  falling  and  rising  to  great 
heights.  Recendy,  Greek  Life  is  on  the  rise  with  the  ad- 
dition of  new  organi2ations  increasing  the  total  num- 
ber of  students  involved  in  Greek  life  to  about  thirty 
percent.  With  the  increase  of  membership  in  Greek 
societies,  an  effective  and  efficient  Greek  council  is 
becoming  increasingly  important 

Greek  organizations  play  a  vital  role  in  the  social 
interactions  of  Spring  Hill  CoUege  by  providing  events 
both  on  and  off  campus.  Greek  council  plans  and  over- 
sees all  Greek  activities  such  as  community  service  and 
Greek  week.  By  organizing,  guiding,  and  supporting 
Greek  life,  Greek  Council  helps  to  keep  the  Greek  com- 
munity thriving.  It  contains  members  from  all  five  fra- 
ternities and  all  four  sororities  as  well  as  the  officers 
from  the  Inter- fraternity  and  PanheUenic  Councils. 

Through  Greek  Council,  the  Greek  organiza- 
tions are  able  to  have  a  voice  in  school  policy  changes 
such  as  alcohol  regulations  and  Greek  Ufe  changes. 
Greek  council  provides  a  forum  for  the  leaders  of  the 
Greek  societies  to  get  together  to  discuss  important  is- 
sues and  a  chance  to  govern  themselves. 


IFC  Organizes  Men's  Rush 

by  Rob  Ruffino 

The  Inter-Fraternity  councU  of  Spring  Hill  Col- 
lege serves  as  the  regulatory  body  for  the  five  fraterni- 
ties on  campus  and  also  provides  Fraternities  with  a 
voice  to  the  Administration.  IFC  is  a  place  where  the 
Fraternities  can  come  together  and  work  for  a  com- 
mon goal.  The  IFC,  in  an  effort  to  become  better  rec- 
ognized by  the  school,  decided  (after  many  years  of 
meeting  at  the  Red  Lion)  to  meet  on  school  grounds 
once  again  in  order  to  show  that  it  is  a  legitimate  rul- 
ing body  Tim  Embree  served  as  president  while  Matt 
Previts  took  up  a  second  term  as  vice  president.  De- 
spite the  loss  of  Phi  Kappa  Tau  and  Lambda  Chi  Al- 
pha chapter,  Greek  participation  increased  due  to  the 
efforts  of  the  IFC. 

The  primary  function  of  the  IFC  is  the  plan- 
ning and  implementation  of  men's  rush.  IFC  sets  up 
signups  for  the  rushees  and  then  determines  the  par- 
ties so  that  for  potential  new  members  can  to  get  to 
know  the  individual  fraternities  better.  This  year  sixty- 
five  men  signed  up  for  men's  rush,  which  is  more  than 
two-thirds  of  the  freshman  class.  Forty- five  men  went 
through  the  rush  week  process.  On  the  night  of  Janu- 
ary 20th,  a  crowd  of  spectators  gathered  and  cheered 
as  thirty-two  men  accepted  bids  and  ran  down  the  stairs.

Upsilon  Alpha  Chapter  ofTKE  Continues  Growth  and  Leadership 

by  James  J.  Renda 

Since  its  beginning  in  1998,  the  Upsilon-Al- 
pha  Chapter  of  Tau  Kappa  Epsilon  has  worked  hard 
to  be  the  best  fraternity  on  campus.  For  the  newly  char- 
tered group,  this  year  was  no  exception.  In  the  area  of 
academics,  the  YA  Chapter  of  TKE  had  the  highest 
grades  of  any  fraternity  (3.25)  in  the  fall  semester

Second  Largest  Fraternity  Remains  Strong  on  Campus 


by  Andy  Hughes 

After  a  disagreement  among  the  Delta  Kappa 
Epsilon  Fraternity  at  Miami  University,  Oxford,  Ohio, 
seven  men  of  high  ideals  and  purposes  departed  from 
Delta  Kappa  Epsilon  and  Founded  the  fraternity  Sigma 
Chi  at  Miami  University  on  June  28, 1855.  Today  sigma 
Chi  is  one  of  the  largest  national  fraternities  and  has  had 
the  Theta  Mu  Chapter  at  Spring  Hill  CoUege  Since  May 
12,  1984.  The  fundamental  purpose  of  the  Sigma  Chi 
Fraternity  is  to  cultivate  an  appreciation  of  and  commit- 
ment to  the  ideals  of  friendship,  justice,  and  learning. 
Sigma  Chi  belief  that  friendship  among  members,  shar- 
ing a  common  belief  in  an  ideal  and  possessing  differ- 
ent temperaments,  talents,  and  convictions,  is  superior 
to  friendship  among  members  having  the  same  tempera- 
ments, talents,  and  convictions,  and  that  genuine  friend- 


ship can  be  maintained  without  surrendering  the  prin- 
ciple of  individuality  or  sacrificing  one's  personal  judg- 
ment. 

Following  a  summer  of  interesting  activities  and 
exotic  travels,  the  brothers  of  Sigma  Chi  returned  to 
Spring  Hill  CoUege  eager  to  provide  and  enjoy  a  fun  and 
fortuitous  school  year.  The  Fall  Semester  included  the 
Sigma  Chi  Annual  Turkey  Bash  Party  in  November.  Theta 
Mu  was  involved  in  several  volunteer  activities  benefit- 
ing many  unfortunate  children. 

After  a  successful  rush  in  January,  the  chapter 
spent  much  of  its  spring  semester  involved  with  train- 
ing their  new  pledges.  Also  in  the  Spring  semester,  the 
brothers  of  Theta  Mu  host  the  annual  Derby  Days,  a 
four  day  event  (March  15-18)  which  benefits  St.  Mary's 
Home  national  charity-  the  Children's  Miracle  Network.

Kappa  Theta  and  Psi  Gamma  Carry  the  Independant  Torch 


by  Ryan  Renfro 

Kappa  Theta  is  the  second  oldest  frater- 
nity on  Spring  Hill's  campus.  The  Kappa's  origi-

lege. The  men  of  Kappa  Theta  pride  themselves 
on  being  a  part  of  the  local  fraternities  here  on 
campus.  The  members  dedicate  themselves  to  four 
ideals:  fraternal,  intellectual,  spiritual,  and  social. 
It  is  these  ideals  that  form  a  solid  foundation  for 
their  members.  Kappa  Theta  consists  of  14  mem- 
bers who  strive  to  be  better  individuals  and  who 
have  a  strong  commitment  to  the  old  traditions  of 
the  fraternity  .The  fraternity  holds  numerous  so- 
cial events,  and  the  two  main  parties  are  Kappa 
Kasual  and  St.  Patti's  Day  Party. 

The  fraternity's  philanthropy  this  year  was 
the  "Stars  for  Paws"  event  held  on  December  2, 
2000.  The  brothers 
took  part  in  raising 
money  for  the  Mobile 
Animal  Shelter  to  spay 
and  neuter  cats  and 
dogs  in  the  Mobile  area. 
The  event  consisted  of 
a  silent  auction  and  a 
dinner  held  at 
Stewartfield,  with  TV 
celebrities  such  as  Jon

"Lassie")     and    Jay

Delta  Gamma 


Local  Group  Fulfills  Need  for  Third  Sorority  by  Affliating  with  AF 


by  Michelle  Dugas 

The  desire  for  a  third  sorority  at  Spring  Hill  Col- 
lege was  sparked  in  the  spring  of  2000.  That  following 
summer  was  a  time  of  intense  planning,  recruiting,  and 
corresponding  with  Spring  Hill's  women.  The  work  of  that 
summer  created  the  local  sorority.  Beta  Chi.  Upon  remrn- 
ing  to  campus  for  the  fall  semester.  Beta  Chi  was  up  and 
running.  As  the  membership  numbers  grew,  so  did  the  de- 
sire to  attract  a  third  national  sorority  to  our  campus.  The 
members  of  Beta  Chi  actively  pursued  the  Delta  Gamma 
Fraternity,  a  women's  fraternity  started  in  1873.  After 
months  of  hard  work  and  preparation,  the  women  of  Beta 
Chi  received  notification  in  mid  November  that  Delta 
Gamma  had  accepted  the  invitation  to  colonize  on  cam- 
pus. The  excitement  of  Beta  Chi  was  shared  by  the  entire 
Greek  community  on  campus. 


In  January  of  2001,  consultants  and  representa- 
tives from  the  Delta  Gamma  Fraternit)'  joined  the  women 
of  Beta  Chi  and  the  colonization  process  began.  The 
following  few  months  resulted  in  the  pursuit  of  new 
members  and  culminated  in  April  of  2001  with  the 
colony  receiving  its  charter  as  the  Eta  Eta  Chapter  of 
Delta  Gamma. 

"Delta  Gamma's  primary  purpose  is  to  create 
an  environment  for  its  members  in  which  lasting  friend- 
ships are  established  and  in  which  members  find  the  pro- 
cesses, the  experiences  and  the  disciplines  which  will 
stimulate  clear  thought.  Its  aim  is  to  foster  an  atmosphere 
in  which  women  will  develop  a  deeper  love  and  consid- 
eration for  mankind,  a  more  profound  understanding 
of  the  purpose  of  Ufe,  and  a  basic  wisdom  upon  which 
to  build  their  Uves."

Students  Find  Common  Ground 
and  Purpose  in  Clubs  and 


ation 


Community  on  the  Hill 


One  of  the  many 
benefits  associated  . 
\#ffi  college  life  is  the 
apparent  abundance 
of  "free  time."  For 
numerous  Spring  Hill 
students,  that  time 
was  a  precious  com- 
modity that  was  split 
between  a  wide 
variety  of  activites. 
The  college  offers  a 
club  or  organization 
that  satisfies  nearly 
any  extracurricular 
interest.  Circle  K, 
Multicultural  Student 
Union,  College  Re- 
publicans and  Demo- 
crats bring  students 
together  in  an  at- 
tempt to  enact  social 
change.  Groups  such 
as  the  sailing  club, 
lacrosse  and  rugby 
offer  recreational 
activities  for  the 
denizens  of  The  Hill. 
While  The  Motley, 
the  Student  Art 
League,  The 
SpringHillian,  The 
Torch,  and  the  The- 
atre Association 
provide  opportunities 
for  the  students  to 
express  their  creative 
energies.  Regardless 
of  the  area  of  interest, 
Spring  Hill  provided  a( 
group  to  satisfy  it.

by  Diana  DeCotis 

The  Spring  Hill  chapter  of  Circle  K  Interna- 
tional had  yet  another  strong  year.   The  officers  for 
the  year  were  President  Diana  DeCotis,  Vice  Presi- 
dent JuHe  Larkin,  Secretary  Heather  Mixter,  and 
Treasurer  Jenny  Daly.   The  membership  of  over 
thirty  students  engaged  in  numerous  service 
projects  and  trips  to  Circle  K  conventions. 

The  major  service  projects  for  the  year  were 
the  Pantry  Raid,  which  members  placed  paper  bags 
on  doorsteps  throughout  the  community  along 
with  a  note  explaining  the  purpose  of  the  project. 
This  effort  raised  over  2,000  pounds  for  Penelope 
House,  a  shelter  for  vicitms  of  domestic  violence. 
Additionally,  the  members  visited  Penelope  House 
on  a  weekly  basis  to  play  with  the  children  and 
work  on  arts  and  crafts  so  that  the  mothers  in 
the  house  can  have  some  free  time. 

The  officers  of  the  chapter  attended  numer- 
ous Circle  K  conventions,  including  the  Interna- 
tional Convention  in  San  Diego,  California.   The 
new  president  for  next  year,  Lauren  HanseU,  looks 
forward  to  continued  success  as  Circle  K  continues 
to  grow  and  serve  the  community.

Club 


by  Coach  Ryan  Butterick 

The  Spring  Hill  Lacrosse  Club  continued  its 
storied  tradition  of  success  this  past  year.   For  the 
first  time,  the  lacrosse  club  participated  in  the  Deep 
South  Lacrosse  Conference.   Despite  being  new  to 
the  conference,  the  squad  finished  with  an  admi- 
rable  10-4  record.   During  the  spring  semester,  the 
team  is  scheduled  to  host  the  second  annual  Todd 
Schuler  Memorial  Lacrosse  Tournament. 

This  years  squad  was  lead  by  a  stifling  de- 
fense. The  anchors  of  that  defense  were  sopho- 
more Dominic  Gianino  and  senior  goalie  Tim 
Embree.  The  mid-field  was  headed  up  by  team 
captian  Tom  Hunter.   The  biggest  surprise  of  the 
year  was  the  emergence  of  sophomore  Ale  jo 
Marugan,  who  was  the  Deep  South  Conference 
leading  goal  scorer  with  25  goals. 

Due  to  an  impressive  season,  the  team  has 
recieved  invitation  to  numerous  summer  tourna- 
ments in  the  New  England  and  Michigan  areas. 
While  the  program  has  made  significant  strides 
since  its  founding,  the  difficult  task  ahead  will  be 
finding  replacements  for  the  departing  senior 
leadership.

RUGBY 


There  comes  a  time  when  everything  must  come  to 
an  end.  Unfourtunately  this  year  the  Rugby  Club 
was  in  that  situation.  After  a  promising  start,  the 
Rugby  Club  had  to  fold  because  of  membership 
and  scheduling  problems.  The  highlight  of  the  year 
was  the  exciting  win  against  their  rival  from  across 
the  bay,  University  of  West  Florida.  Club  President 
Todd  Rametta  had  this  to  say:  "The  year  started 
off  great  with  the  West  Florida  win,  the  team  was 
really  pumped  that  all  the  fans  came  out  and  sup- 
ported us,  it's  a  shame  we  couldn't  keep  it  going."

Student  Governemnt, 

Doieff  More  Thae  Thr^ 


by  Maureen  McCarthy 

The  Student  Government  Association,  under  the  leadership  of  President  Stephen 
Fitzgerald,  saw  a  year  of  success  and  accomplishment  unprecedented  in  recent 
memory.  The  cabinet  and  the  senate  were  able  to  work  together  on  numerous  bills, 
programs,  and  inidatives  that  will  benefit  the  students  of  Spring  Hill  for  many  years 
to  come. 

One  of  the  many  areas  that  this  administration  made  progress  in  was  with  regards 
to  the  Student  Judicial  Board  (SJB)  and  Constitution.   Attorney  General  Jean-Paul 
Morrell  reworked  the  SJB  bylaws  and  set  up  elections  so  that  the  SJB  would  exist  and 

return  power  to  the  student  body. 
Additionally,  Attorney  General 
Morrell  revised  the  Constitution  that 
was  later  approved  by  the  senate  and 
greatiy  improved  the  functionality  of 
tiie  SGA. 

The  SGA  supported  the  operations 
of  the  cheerleading  squad,  dance 
team,  lacrosse  team,  student  nurses 
association,  S.H.O.R.E.S.  and  the 
multi-cultural  student  union,  as  well 
as  numerous  other  clubs  and  organi- 
zations through  financial  allocations. 
Also,  the  SGA  revivied  the  Badger 
Drive  program  and  created  food, 
elections,  honor  code,  student 
master  plan  and  alcohol-drug  com- 
mittees to  work  more  closely  with

the  staff  and  adminstration.  Addi- 
tionally, the  SGA  created  new  cabinet  positions  that  represented  commuters,  and 
created  a  website  and  online  student  directory. 

The  Head  of  Programming,  Diana  Scalici,  along  with  Head  of  Contracts  and 
Negotiations  Ara  Dombourian,  put  on  an  impressive  and  exciting  series  of  events 
throughout  the  year.   The  SGA  Programming  Board  sponsored  a  Drive-In  Movie, 
Freshman  Fiesta,  Fall  Band  Party,  Fall  Formal,  Mardi  Gras  Ball,  Hall  Olympics  and 
Mystery  Night  Dinner  Theatre  as  well  as  Phat  Badger  Booty. 

Overrall,  the  Student  Government  Association  had  a  very  memorable  and 
productive  year  and  support  initiatives  that  wiU  benefit  the  college  and  her  students 
for  many  years.

Another  great  year  for  S.H.O.R.E.S.  .  In  the  fall,  the  members  had 
a  beach  clean  up,  a  snorkeling/ camping  trip   to  St.  Andrews  park  in 
Panama  City,  a  Dolphin  watching  trip  to  Perdido  Key  in  Gulf  Shores, 
and  a  SCUBA  trip  to  Pensacola.  The  group  also  had  two  SHORES 
members,  former  treasurer  Claire  Pabody,  who  has  now  since  been 
elected  to  the  position  of  Chairman  for  next  year,  and  Laura  Walls  who 
was  the  cook  and  will  be  the  Secretary  for  the  2001-2002  SHORES  club, 
travel  to  study  marine  biology  at  James  Cook  University  in  Townsville, 
Australia.  Even  with  the  absence  of  Claire  and  Laura  S.H.O.R.E.S.  had 
one  of  the  most  successful  Manatee  trips  ever.  Seventeen  SHC  stu- 
dents, faculty  and  staff  loaded  up  on  one  cold  and  dark  Friday  night 
and  made  the  trip  down  to  Crystal  River  Florida.  It  was  not  much 
warmer  then  last  year,  but  the  manatee  were  abundant  and  friendly. 
And,  although  this  was  the  first  time  snorkeling  for  most  of  the  SHC 
crowd,  everyone  had  a  blast!

Campus  Ministry 

JLivm 


ervm 


by  Adam  Werling 

Maureen  Bergan  first  broached  the  idea  of  the  campus  ministry  council 
toward  the  end  of  the  1 998- 1 999  school  year.  There  were  a  number  of  students,  in 
addition  to  the  "work  studies,"  who  spent  time  in  the  campus  ministry  office  and 
who  were  heavily  involved  in  various  ministries.  The  council  formed  at  the  end  of 
that  school  year  and  over  the  summer.  Those  students  who  indicated  interest 

accompanied  the  staff  for  an 
"overnight"  at  Visitation  Monas- 
tery in  Mobile  in  late  August, 
1999. 

During  that  experience  we 
shared  our  hopes  and  dreams  for 
campus  ministry  and  worked  out 
the  calendar  for  the  coming  year.  We 
definitely  bonded  as  a  community  of 
service.  To  begin  the  2000-2001 
school  year,  we  had  a  similar  experi- 
ence at  Visitation.  The  council  meets 
each  Tuesday  afternoon  at  5 : 1 5  in  the 
SGA  conference  room.  Those 
attending  who  are  pressed  for  time 
are  encouraged  to  bring  their  suppers

Visitation  Monastery. 


to  the  meeting. 

The  council  has  served  much  the  same  purpose  as  a  parish  council.  It  has 
encouraged  students  to  take  ownership  of  various  ministries.  It  has  allowed 
activities  to  be  coordinated  effectively.  It  has  served  as  a  "think  tank,"  surfacing 
creative  ideas  for  activities  on  campus.  Quite  often  meetings  have  served  as 
recruiting  ground  for  volunteers  needed  for  various  events.  Perhaps  most  important  of 
all,  it  has  served  as  a  forum  in  which  staff  and  council  members  could  encourage  one 
another  in  the  mission  of  campus  ministry. 

Ideas  for  different  kinds  of  Masses  and  other  paraliturgical  services  have 
surfaced  at  the  council  meetings.  Suggestions  for  different  types  of  justice  minis- 
try have  flowed  from  the  council.  For  campus  ministry  to  be  a  vital  part  of 
student  life  at  Spring  Hill,  a  grassroots  organization  like  the  council  is  absolutely 
essential.

Under  the  direction  of  Fr.  Stephen  Campbell  and  his 
assistant  Mike  Ghetto,  the  Spring  Hill  College  Theatre  As- 
sociation has  flourished.  The  productions  for  this  year 
were  "Rimers  of  Eldridge"  by  Lanford  Wilson,  November 
16-19,  "Set  In  Motion  Dance  Works"  February  10-11,  and 
"The  White  DevH"  by  John  Webster,  March  29-April  1. 
These  plays  were  very  well  attended  and  received  acclaim 
from  students  and  faculty  aUke.  Sophomore  Jorge  Saladrigas 
summed  up  the  performances  by  saying:  "I  came  in  ex- 
pecting a  school  play  and  what  what  I  got  was  sheer  enjoy- 
ment and  delight!"  With  larger  casts  and  an  outstanding 
freshmen  participation,  the  Association  reached  new 
heights  and  hopes  to  build  on  the  success  of  this  season.

Group  Liven  '^^    '^ 

from  Development  Office 

Spring  Hill  College  is  proud  to  introduce  an  important  addition  to 
its  already  impressive  variety  of  student  associations.  Badger  Athletic 
Productions  was  formed  through  the  Office  of  Student  Life  in  an  effort 
to  give  students,  faculty,  staff  and  the  entire  community  an  opportunity 

to  participate  in  Badger  athletic  events. 
The  group,  composed  primarily  of  mem- 
bers of  the  student  body,  turns  every  SHC 
athletic  event  into  a  production  by  featur- 
ing giveaways,  dancing,  music  and  special 
guests.  Badger  Athletic  Productions  also 
co-sponsors  the  "Wendy's  Half-court 
Challenge"  at  all  Men's  Basketball  games. 
The  group's  largest  endeavor  was  the 
purchase  of  a  new  uniform  for  the  Badger 
mascot.  The  uniform,  sponsored  by  Sprint 
PCS  US  Unwired,  Inc.,  was  unveiled 
Friday,  January  19,  at  7:30  p.m.  in  the 
Arthur  Outiaw  Recreation  Center  imme- 
diately before  the  Badger  Men's  basket- 
ball battie  with  Talladega  College.  Michael 
McMyne,  Spring  Hill  freshman  and  co- 
founder  of  Badger  Athletic  Productions,  says  "the  group  has  collabo- 
rated with  our  community  partners  to  raise  over  $10,000  toward  the 
production  of  events  and  the  purchase  of  the  new  Badger  mascot 
uniform.  Student  involvement  is  an  indicator  of  student  success  at  all 
campuses  and  Badger  Athletic  Productions  is  helping  build  that  suc- 
cess at  Spring  Hill  College."

Spring  Hill  College  cheerieaders  impressed 
fans  this  basketball  season  with  their  renewed  dedi- 
cation. The  squad  of  ten  women  and  four  men 
worked  hard,  practicing  three  days  a  week  and  at- 
tending games.  With  the  supervision  of  Heather 
Bohan  and  a  smnting  instructor  the  co-ed  squad 
worked  to  perfect  stunts  and  make  cheers  more 
precise.  The  women  of  the  squad  choreographed 
and  performed  dances  for  halftime  as  well.  At  ev- 
ery Badger  home  game,  the  cheerleaders  demon- 
strated their  new  look  and  filled  the  gym  with  spirit 
and  encouragement.  The  team  was  not  without 
hardships  though.  Lack  of  money  was  a  large  ob- 
stacle they  faced  this  year.  Although  the  team  raised 
most  of  their  money  through  the  generosity  of 
SGA,  the  Dean  of  Smdents,  and  a  carwash  early  in 
the  year,  money  became  tight  towards  the  end.  The 
raised  money  was  appreciated  however  and  provided 
the  team  with  uniforms,  megaphones,  pompoms, 
plus  some  lessons  from  a  cheer  instructor.  To  main- 
tain the  squad  skill  level  the  team  paid  out  of  pocket 
for  tumbling  and  stunting  lessons  for  the  last  two 
months  of  the  season.  Luckily,  due  to  their  reliable 
cheer  reputation,  some  private  sponsors  did  step 
forward  at  the  end  of  the  season.  Overall,  the 
cheerleading  program  saw  significant  growth  and 
the  season  was  a  great  success  that  showed  at  every 
game.

In  three  short  years,  the  Spring  Hill 
Showstoppers  have  experienced  tremendous  growth. 
The  team  started  with  just  eight  members  and  has 
nearly  doubled  in  size.  The  Showstoppers  went  from 
providing  half  dme  entertainment  to  performing 
within  the  community.  This  year,  they  performed  at 
the  pep  rally  and  the  basketball  games,  but  also  at  the 
Gulf  Shores  Shrimp  Festival  in  October.  They  also 
collected  canned  goods  and  performed  on  WPMI 
NBC  15  for  the  Salvation  Army's  Spirit  of  Giving  in 
December.  During  the  summer,  some  of  the  mem- 
bers attended  a  dance  camp  sponsored  by  Universal 
Dance  Association.  They  attended  with  other  dance 
teams  in  the  southeast  region.  They  met  many  other 
teams  from  the  area  and  even  provided  a  kiddie  camp 
for  one  of  them.  The  Showstoppers  played  a  big 
role  in  the  development  and  success  of  Badger  Ath- 
letic Productions.  They  have  worked  hand  in  hand 
to  bring  more  contests  and  excitement  to  the  bas- 
ketball games.  The  Showstoppers  hope  to  continue 
to  grow  and  take  advantage  of  more  oppormnities 
within  the  community.

/1EA/S  SOCCER 

by  Ben  Williams 

The  seniors  of  the  2000  men's  soccer  team  would  like  to  give  the  last  word  abotj 
this  year's  season.  Although  this  year's  season  was  filled  with  ups  and  downs,  the  seasd 
ended  with  the  best  record  in  school  history  (7-7).  The  team  broke  the  .500  game  mafl 
and  quieTly  made  history.  The  team  was  composed  of  three  seniors:  Steve  Forista* 
Greg  Logush,  and  Ben  WiHiams,  one  junior,  and  the  remaining  players  were  sophomore] 
and  freshmen.  The  three  seniors  were  each  four- year  starters  and  added  a  great  deal  cj 
experience  and  leadership  to  the  team.  The  underclassmen  elevated  their  play  and  wit 
the  experience  of  the  seniors,  we  were  able  to  have  a  successful  season.  The  soccer  prograrij 
has  come  a  long  way  in  the  past  four  years  in  the  face  of  adversity.  In  spite  of  having  thre] 
coaches  in  the  past  four  years,  meek  financial  assistance,  and  playing  in  one  of  the  toughe:! 
conferences  in  the  country,  the  men's  soccer  program  has  continued  to  improve.  As  1 
team  we  would  Uke  to  thank  our  fellow  students  for  their  support  at  the  games  and  arouni 
campus.  As  seniors,  we  leave  behind  a  great  group  of  soccer  players  and  a  strong  foundatiot 
that  that  can  be  bmlt  upon  for  fumre  successful  seasons.

The  Lady  Badger  soccer  team  started 
off  the  season  with  a  number  of  new  faces.  Not 
only  did  the  team  have  eight  freshman,  they 
also  welcomed  a  new  head  coach.  The  return- 
ing players  from  last  year  used  their  experi- 
ence to  aid  the  freshman  into  the  transition  to 
collegiate  athletics.  The  team  started  the  sea- 
son off  a  little  slow,  but  towards  the  end  of  the 
season,  the  girls  were  in  peak  form  and  ex- 
ceeded expectations  by  earning  a  .500  record. 
Along  with  a  good  season,  the  Lady  Badger's 
goalkeeper,  Christine  Amesen,  was  named  to 
the  NAIA  All-Region  XIII  team.  Kat  Euart, 
Tiffany  Scallon,  and  Christine  Amesen  were 
named  to  the  All-Gulf  Coast  Athletic  Confer- 
ence team.  The  squad  performed  well  consid- 
ering their  youth  and  will  be  a  formidable 
GCAC  opponent  going  into  next  season.

Most  men  on  Spring  Hill's  Campus  have 
never  seen  5:30  A.M.,  unless  it's  as  they  arrive  home 
from  a  long  night  out.  So  what  would  possess  the 
men  of  Spring  Hill's  Cross  Country  team  to  come 
out  at  this  time  for  practice?  With  the  goal  of  a 
conference  title  in  mind,  the  team  was  on  the  streets 
of  Spring  Hill  before  the  sun  came  up.  With  only 
5  runners,  the  minimum  for  fielding  an  official 
team,  the  Badgers  enjoyed  their  most  successful 
season  in  their  three-year  history.  Under  the  lead- 
ership of  captain  and  team  founder  Jimmy 
Buscemi,  the  other  members  of  the  "Fab  Five" 
notched  the  first  victory  in  team  history  with  a 
win  over  rival  University  of  Mobile.  The  Badgers 
were  considered  one  of  the  favorites  for  the  GCAC 
championship,  but  they  were  met  with  unseason- 
able 85°  heat  at  race  time.  This  proved  to  be  the 
difference  in  the  grueling  5  mile  race,  as  the  Bad- 
gers finished  3rd,  just  missing  their  first  GCAC 
title.  Harvath,  Buscemi,  and  Scalici  earned  All- 
GCAC  honors  and  the  Badgers  in  position  to  be 
considered  the  favorite  for  the  2001  GCAC  Cham-

It's  5:30  A.M.;  do  you  know  where  your  running 
shoes  are?  This  was  the  battle  cry  of  the  Spring 
Hill  Lady  Badger  Cross  Country  Team,  as  they  took 
to  the  streets  of  Spring  Hill  and  the  surrounding 
community  for  the  2000  season.  At  a  time  when 
many  of  their  fellow  badgers  were  sound  asleep, 
these  women  were  constandy  pushing  themselves 
to  new  limits  all  in  the  name  of  Spring  Hill  Col- 
lege athletics.  In  what  was  supposed  to  be  a  re- 
building year  after  last  year's  GCAC  individual 
champion,  Erika  Blattenberger,  graduated  and  left 
the  gates  of  The  Hill,  the  Spring  Hill  women,  un- 
der the  direction  of  Coach  Michelle  Hoobler,  ex- 
celled. With  an  army  of  new  talent  including  fresh- 
men sensations  Veronica  Martin  and  Lauren 
HanseU,  combined  with  the  solid  senior  leadership 
of  "Coach"  Tarn  Counts  and  Sabrina  Hoobler,  the 
Lady  Badgers  were  a  force  in  the  GCAC.  Their 
work  culminated  with  a  convincing  victory  over 
the  hated  Rams  of  the  University  of  Mobile,  and 
a  4th  place  finish  in  the  conference  championships, 
in  which  Veronica  Martin  was  rewarded  with  All-

Coming  off  a  surprising  2000  campaign  which  included  a  GCAC  championship 
and  a  trip  to  the  NAIA  Elite  Eight,  the  Men's  Badger  basketball  program  entered  the 
2000-2001  season  with  high  hopes  and  expectations.  With  no  seniors  on  last  year's 
team,  the  men  had  an  enormous  amount  of  experience  and  talent.  This,  mixed  with  an 
excellent  incoming  freshmen  class  proved  to  be  a  unstoppable  combination.  Seniors 
Nicky  Saacks  and  Shane  Cline  looked  to  lead  a  team  packed  with  young  talent  and 
enthusiasm.  The  Badgers  finished  this  years  season  with  a  27-6  record.  The  team  was  a 
very  tight-knit  unit  in  which  no  one  player  carried  the  team  throughout  the  entire 
season.  Each  player  knew  his  role  on  the  team  and  contributed  to  the  Success  of  this 
year's  campaign.  Long  hours  of  practice  also  proved  to  be  of  utmost  importance  for 
the  team.  These  hours  in  the  gym  allowed  the  team  to  become  more  comfortable  with 
each  other  and  ensured  superior  physical  conditioning. 

Despite  a  loss  to  Dillard  in  the  GCAC  tournament  finals  and  injury  to  key  se- 
nior Nicky  Saacks,  the  men's  squad  heads  into  the  NAIA  national  confident  in  their 
ability  to  duplicate,  if  not  surpass  last  year's  performance.  Additionally,  the  loss  of  only 
two  senior  players  ensures  that  this  team  will  be  highly  competitive  next  season  when 
the  program  switches  to  NCAA  Division  basketball.

By  Fran  Clarkson 

Despite  a  season  filled  with  injuries,  illness,  and  controversy,  the  Lady 
Badger  basketball  team  finished  the  season  strong..    The  team  was  led  by  the  three  | 
returning  senior  starters:  Jessica  Wendoleck,  Nicolette  Nalu,  and  JiU  Mathias.    Thesj 
ladies  finished  off  an  excellent  career  here  at  Spring  Hill,  and  they  served  as  excel- 
lent role  models  for  their  younger  teammates.    Senior  Jessica  Wendolek  along  with 
sophomore  LaToya  Baker  were  named  to  the  All-GCAC  team.    Along  with  this 
honor,  Wendolek  finished  her  career  with  1,466  points  and  several  SHC  women's 
basketball  records. 

The  team,  despite  the  tough  losses  throughout  the  season,  still  played  with  j 
great  intensity.    The  ladies  devoted  coundess  hours  in  the  Arthur  Oudaw  Recreatioi 
Center  conditioning  and  practicing.    Their  dedication  to  their  coach  and  to  each 
other  proved  to  be  one  of  the  key  factors  that  held  this  team  together.   Coach  Miss\ 
Sharer  continuously  kept  the  girls  focused  on  the  season  as  despite  the  off  court 
stories  that  were  happening.    Her  coaching  and  grueling  work  ethic  rubbed  off  on 
the  girls  and  inspired  them  to  play  their  best  despite  the  circumstances. 

The  team  looks  forward  to  rebuilding  a  squad  for  the  next  season.   This 
season  was  not  an  accurate  reflection  of  the  fuU  potential  or  ability  of  the  team  or 
how  well  they  can  play  together.   The  Lady  Badgers  are  going  to  put  this  season 
behind  them  and  start  looking  towards  their  bright  future.    Despite  the  loss  of  three 
seniors,  the  squad  still  have  a  talented  core  of  players  to  work  with  for  next  season.* 
This,  coupled  with  a  good  recruiting  class,  wiU  put  the  girls  right  back  where  they 
belong  at  the  top  of  their  conference.

"TTie  strength  of  this  years 

team  is  our  pitching.  We 

are  very  deep  there,  and 

with  good  hitting  and 

defense,  we  can  definitely 

go  far  this  year." 

-Eric  Jukes 


by  Zack  Price 

The  begining  of  the  2001  baseball  season 
marked  a  change  in  the  name  of  the  oldest  college 
baseball  field  in  the  nation.  What  was  once  known 
as  The  Pit,  is  now  known  as  Stan  Galle  Field.  This 
name  change  was  in  honor  of  the  former  long-time 
Spring  Hill  College  baseball  coach  Stan  Galle. 

With  the  new  field  came  a  new  attitude.  The 
men's  team,  anchored  on  senior  leadership  and  an 
excellent  pitching  staff  looked  to  lead  the  Badgers 
to  their  best  record  ever.  Coundess  hitting  and  field- 
ing drills  day  in  and  day  out  contributed  to  the  teams' 
production  for  this  year.  Their  dedication  both  in 
the  weight  room  and  on  the  field  coupled  with  the 
talent  on  the  team  could  not  be  beaten. 

The  squad  is  looking  to  make  a  run  this  year 
not  only  at  the  Gulf  Coast  Athletic  Conference,  but 
also  at  the  NAIA  national  championship.  This  is 
definitely  a  realistic  goal  for  the  team  based  on  their 
consistant  hard  work  and  dedication.  The  seniors 
on  the  team  want  to  go  out  with  a  tide,  and  this  year's 
team  has  all  the  tools  to  accomplish  this  feat. 


"This  years  Badger 
Baseball  team  is  experi- 
enced at  every  position.  We 
lookto  make  a  lot  of  noise 
m  the  GCAC  on  the  road  to 
nationals."

SOFTBALL 


By  Tony  K.  Estas 

The  Spring  Hill  Badger  softball  team  started 
the  season  off  with  high  expectations.  The  Lady 
Badgers  were  ranked  13th  in  the  NAIA  pre-season 
rankings.  The  team  had  aU  of  their  starters  remrn 
from  the  previous  season  which  gave  them  a  great 
deal  of  experience  from  the  beginning.  The  return- 
ing players  from  the  1999-2000  season,  along  with 
the  talented  incoming  freshman  proved  to  be  a  po- 
tent combination.  There  was  one  significant  loss  the 
team  suffered  before  the  season  started.  The  team 
lost  an  important  assistant  coach  to  a  professional 
team  in  Holland.  Although  this  was  a  huge  loss,  the 
ladies  focused  in  on  playing  together  as  a  solid  unit 
and  were  led  not  only  by  the  excellent  coaching  staff, 
but  also  the  seniors  and  captains. 

The  softbaU  field  behind  Murray  Hall,  which 
was  built  by  the  softbaU  team  themselves  a  few  years 
ago,  proved  to  be  a  "home  away  from  home"  for  the 
ladies.  Coundess  hours  were  spent  working  on  that 
field  a  few  years  ago,  and  this  year  the  team  spent 
many  long  hours  perfecting  their  game.  Hardwork 
and  dedication  were  a  key  ingredients  to  the  suc- 
cess the  ladies  had  this  year.  Their  hard  work  payed 
off  and  made  this  season  an  enjoyable  one  for  the 
ladies.  Congratulations  ladies  on  a  season  well 
played! 


"We  work  hard  each  day  at 
practice  to  accomplish  our 
individual  dreams  (espe- 
cially diry  rolls)  and  our 
team  dream  of  winning  the 
National  Championship."

The  men's  golf  team  had  their  work  cut  out  for  them  from  the  beginning  of 
the  season.   Three  key  players  were  gone  from  a  year  ago!  One  from  graduation,     ; 
one  from  transfer  and  one  from  "red-shirting."   Improving  everyone's  game  in 
preparation  for  next  year  is  the  teams  main  focus.   The  men's  golf  team  is  capable 
of  competing  with  some  of  the  top  teams  in  the  area,  but  everyone  is  having  a 
difficult  time  putting  it  all  together.    A  solid  finish  at   regionals  will  help  offset 
some  of  the  struggles  during  the  season.    This  years  team  consists  of:  Ryan

The  women's  tennis  program  has  progressed  a  great  deal  over  the  course  of 
the  years.  This  years  tennis  team  was  filled  with  youth  and  talent.  The  team  consisted 
of  six  sophomores  and  three  freshman.  The  ladies  started  off  the  season  with  a  great 
deal  of  potential,  and  they  displayed  their  talent  against  conference  rivals  DiUard 
defeating  them  soundly  at  Dillard's  home  court.   The  ladies,  led  by  Coach  Williamson, 
work  extremely  hard  on  their  game  on  the  tennis  courts  adjacent  to  the  Badger's  Den. 
The  team  experienced  early  season  success,  compliling  an  unexpected  and  impressive 
11-2  record,  but  a  string  of  difficult  oppenents  caused  the  record  to  drop  to  1 2-6  at 
the  time  of  this  article.  The  Lady  Badger's  look  to  regroup  and  make  a  run  for  the

^^^M  Bfow  can  you  continue  to 
say  that  you  have  been  educated? 
V^at  kind  of  education,  man,  do  you 
mean?  Because  you  have  worked  on; 
syllogisms,  and  arguments  with! 
equivocal  premisses?  Will  you  not! 
unlearn  this,  if  that  be  possible,  and 
begin  at  the  beginning,  realizing  thatj 
hitherto  you  have  not  even  touched], 
the  matter,  and  for  the  future,  begin-i 
ning  at  this  point,  add  to  your  foun-i 
dations  that  which  comes  next  in; 
order  -  provision  that  nothing  shall! 
be  that  you  do  not  wish,  and  thati 
nothing  shall  fail  to  be  that  you  do 
wish? 

Give  me  but  one  young; 
man  who  has  come  to  school  with! 
this  purpose  in  view,  who  has  be-' 
come  an  athelete  in  this  activity  say- 1 
ing,  "As  for  me,  let  everything  else' 
go;  I  am  satisfied  if  I  shall  be  free  to 
live  untrammeled  and  untroubled,  to 
hold  up  my  neck  in  the  face  of  factsi 
like  a  free  man,  and  to  look  up  to 
heaven  as  a  friend  of  God,  without 
fear  of  what  may  possibly  happen." 
Let  one  of  you  show  me  such  a  per- 
son, so  that  I  can  say  to  him:  Enter; 
young  man,  into  your  own,  for  it  is:il 
your  destiny  to  adorn  philosophy,*} 
yours  are  these  possessions,  yours 
these  books,  yours  these  discourses^ 
Then,  when  he  has  worked  his  way 
through  this  field  of  study  and  mas- 
tered it  like  an  athelete,  let  him  come 
to  me  again  and  say,  "I  want,  it  is; 
true,  to  be  tranquil  and  free  from! 
turmoil,  but  I  want  also,  as  a  god-j 
fearing  man,  a  philosopher  and  a 
diligent  student,  to  know  what  is  my! 
duty  towards  the  gods,  towards  par-:! 
ents,  towards  brothers,  towards  my] 
country,  towards  strangers."  Ad- 
vance now  to  the  second  field  ol 
study;  this  also  is  yours.  "Yes,  but  1 
Have  already  studied  this  second! ) 
field.  What  I  wanted  was  to  be  se- jt

April  16.  2TO1 


To  the  Spring  Hill  College  Community, 


As  the  final  pages  of  the  2000-2001  edition  of  The  Torch  are  completed,  I 
realized  that  the  time  to  write  my  letter  of  reflection  was  approaching.  In  many  ways, 
completing  the  yearbook  was  the  last  "big  thing"  that  had  to  be  done  for  me  here  at 
Spring  Hill.  At  this  point,  the  senior  seminar  is  complete,  the  ETS  e.xam  has  been 
passed  and  my  terms  on  IFC  and  SGA  are  done  as  well.  So.  1  write  today  as  the 
editor  of  our  yearbook,  hopefully  providing  you  with  some  insight  into  the 
production  of  this  year's  book. 

Two  years  ago.  I  was  asked  to  serve  as  editor  of  The  Torch,  but  I  turned  it 
down,  not  because  1  wasn't  interested,  but  because  1  had  too  much  to  do  and  I  if  I 
was  going  to  do  yearbook.  I  wanted  to  do  it  senior  year.  Truth  be  told  it  wasn't  until 
orientation  that  I  really  starting  thinking  about  the  book.  At  that  point  we  were 
ahead)'  behind  schedule.  There  was  no  yearbook  staff,  theme,  cover,  ladder  or  page 
design;  1  didn't  even  know  what  company  was  going  to  |Mxxiuce  the  book  for  us. 
It  took  time  and  effort,  but  a  staff  was  assembled,  a  theme  was  selected,  a  cover 
created  and  the  ladder  and  page  designs  were  finalized.  To  gi\'c  an  idea  of  the 
complexity  of  these  tasks,  it  took  the  entire  first  semester  to  finish  them.  EXiring 
January.  Februan-  and  March  the  staff  worked  to  put  the  pieces  of  the  puzzle 
together.  The  first  deadline  resulted  in  forty-two  pages,  the  second-sixty  four  and  the 
third  finished  the  book  off. 

My  entire  reason  for  becoming  involved  with  this  year's  book  was  to  improve 
it  from  cover  to  cover.  I  hope  you  can  agree  that  we  have  accomplished  that  much. 
This  year's  edition  features  thirty-two  color  pages,  a  color  insert  highlighting  world 
events,  a  significant  increase  in  the  quantity  and  quahty  of  event  coverage  and 
writing,  and  also  a  supplement  that  covers  graduation  and  summarizes  the  spring 
sports  accomplishments. 

While  1  feel  that  there  are  areas  that  we  could  have  done  better.  I  realize  that 
all  of  the  students  on  staff  gave  the  best  that  they  could  and  this  book  has  started  a 
trend  of  publications  that  will  improve  each  year.  Certain  individuals  definitely 
surpassed  my  expectations  and  deserve  recognition.  First  and  foremost.  Scth 
Laubinger.  whose  expertise  with  digital  photography  /  imaging  and  work  ethic  were 
remarkable.  My  thanks  also  go  to  the  Development  Office,  whose  timely  and 
consistent  support  made  this  book  possible.  In  addition.  Hilary  Frobish  and  Nick 
D'Alessandro.  who  despite  busy  schedules  and  limited  yearbook  experience,  stepped 
up  and  contributed  in  ways  I  could  not  have  imagined.  Finally,  my  thanks  to  the  rest 
of  the  staff,  the  writers,  the  photographers,  the  Office  of  Student  Life,  the  faculty 
members  who  showed  up  for  picture  day.  Mr  Loehr  for  giving  us  office  space.  Mr 
Nance  for  supplying  us  with  furniture.  Stcph  for  keeping  me  going  and  my  family 
for  supporting  me  and  giving  me  the  opportunity  to  pursue  an  education  and 
leadership  opportunities  here  at  SHC. 

1  hope  that  you  enjoy  this  book  as  much  as  I  have  enjoyed  putting  it  together. 
Fortunately,  only  one  "all-nighter"  was  necessary  during  production  of  the  2001 
edition  of  The  Torch.  Please  do  send  your  comments  about  the  book  to  me  via  email 
at  mjp8379@cs.com.  Enjoy!

|s  this  year  at  Spring  Hill  College  comes  to  a  close,  one  is 
reminded  of  a  verse  from  Galatians  (here  taken  out  of  context) 
"And  let  us  not  be  weary  in  well  doing:  for  in  due  season  we  shall 
reap,  if  we  faint  not."  Such  fatigue  is  inevitable  at  the  end  of  the 
academic  calendar.  And  yet,  for  some  of  us  there  are  other  sensa- 
tions even  stronger  than  fatigue.  For  those  of  us  who  have  enjoyed 
our  last  year  at  Spring  Hill,  our  situation  could  be  very  aptly  de- 
scribed by  a  line  from  Sir  Arthur  Quiller-Couch's  The  Sleeping  Beauty 
and  other  Fairy  Tales:  "Following  this,  he  found  himself  in  an  av- 
enue of  trees,  at  the  entrance  of  which  he  halted  and  rubbed  his 
eyes."  Well  do  we  understand  his  sentiment.  Even  though  we 
have  always  been  aware  that  our  college  years  must  come  to  an 
end,  that  end  inevitably  comes  all  too  quickly,  and  as  an 
unwelcomed  surprise,  leaving  all  of  us  "rubbing  our  eyes"  (either 
from  astonishment  or  tears  or  both).
